When I got up in the morning and went downstairs, I had a variety of breakfasts on the table. Preserved egg porridge with shredded pork, crispy fritters, a basket of xiaolongbao, and glutinous rice dumplings dipped in sugar. I'm afraid that she won't be used to eating, so I added Western-style bread with cherry jam, which is really rich.

Cong Xia saw Wu's mother on the stairs and greeted her with a smile: "Did you sleep well?" ”

"Very good, very good, I will be relieved when you come back. In summer, the days are short, the day dawns early, and you can't sleep for a long time, and you don't know what breakfast you want to eat, so I make you some of them, and you eat slowly. Wu's mother said with a smile, and fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

She nodded, and walked over to the table and sat down. I didn't know what to eat with chopsticks, so I simply drank porridge. Very delicate porridge, shredded meat is also tender, it seems to have been cooked for a long time, and the taste is very good.

"Why don't you just drink porridge and eat a xiaolongbao." As she spoke, she took the bun and put it in the summer bowl.

I really ate a lot, but I haven't finished most of it. Cong Xia looked at Wu's mother distressedly, "Wu's mother, I can't eat it, it's very supportive." She caressed her belly, and it was indeed propped up.

"Why can't you eat it, eat more, look at your skinny, you have to make up for it." After going abroad from the summer, people are getting thinner and thinner, maybe they are not accustomed to the water and soil, they can't eat well or sleep well, Wu's mother looks distressed, she has grown so big, and she doesn't know how to take care of herself.

After breakfast, Wu's mother packed up the dishes and chopsticks as usual and returned to her room from Xia.

In the past, too, when she lived at home, she mostly liked to stay in her room and didn't like to go out. In the past few years, she has become a little more cheerful, in fact, she used to be quite introverted, even very cowardly, and she would cry at every turn. When her parents divorced in elementary school, she lived almost alone, sleeping, going to school, all by herself, and only when she was eating, she could face Wu's mother. She used to stay in her room all day without talking all day.

I heard that a person's personality is inseparable from her childhood upbringing.

When her parents divorced, she was thrown to her grandmother's house for a period of time, and her grandmother's family had many children, which was very noisy. She felt sick and cried and wanted to go home. Grandma said unintentionally: "Where do you have any home?" ”

When she heard this, she suddenly felt sad in her heart, and tears fell one after another. In the end, it was her father who took her home, but in that home, her mother left.

Such a beautiful bungalow, but not a home.

There is also a grand pomegranate tree planted in the yard with dense foliage. In early summer, the pomegranate blooms dazzling flowers, swaying and swaying, just like youth, which is so eye-catching and enviable; But due to the lack of popularity, he was lonely after all.

No matter how beautiful the flower is, if it blooms in a deep courtyard that no one cares about, it will really be disappointed.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Min waited quietly for a long time in the car outside the door, and finally saw the two of them come out, and hurriedly got out of the car to open the door for them.

"I'm sorry Xiao Zhou, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I can't pick out the clothes." From Natsu smiled apologetically. She wore a light yellow skirt, which looked faintly comfortable. He was nervous and replied softly, "It's okay, you should wait as long as you want." He didn't say any of the pleasantries he had thought about along the way.

The smell in the car was comfortable, Zhou Min adjusted the rearview mirror and asked Congxia: "Or go to the store on Heyi Road?" Seeing her nodding, she started the car.

"I'm this old age for whatever clothes to buy." Wu's mother said embarrassedly, "It's you, a little girl, buy more clothes and meet more people, so I will accompany you and give you a reference." ”

Cong Xia held her hand: "How long have you been wearing those clothes?" He looked up and said to Zhou Min, "Let's go, Xiao Zhou." ”

The car started slowly and pulled out of a corner. There are many pure white jasmine blooms on both sides of the road, and a tree blossoms, wrapped in the summer breeze.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not long after, the car came to a steady stop on the side of the road.

Wait until they get out of the car. The person from Xia Chao's car window smiled apologetically: "Thank you, I always trouble you." You're my dad's former secretary, not my driver. ”

Zhou Min looked at her: "Then I'll pick you up later." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road." From Natsu waved goodbye to him.

Halfway through the stroll, I saw a person from Xia, and suddenly his body stiffened. The man also saw her, his face was slightly surprised, and finally he smiled and walked towards her.

Caught off guard, I happened to be here and met that person.

Mother Wu followed her line of sight and caught a glimpse of a familiar face, "Isn't this your classmate in high school, go talk about it, I'll be fine to walk around by myself." As he spoke, he obediently went in the opposite direction.

It's too late to escape now, and the eyes of the two have already touched.

Lily approached and said affectionately: "Congxia, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are also here to buy something?" When did you come back? We miss you a lot. "We? Who is she with? Miss me?

"I just came back in the past two days." She struggled to pull out a smile. Lily hasn't changed at all, she is still so dignified and generous, gentle and decent. The fluffy hair is lazily curled into a bun at the back of the head, and the smiling eyes are charming.

"How's it going?"

She said lightly: "It's good." ”

They hadn't been in touch for a long time, and they were a little embarrassed by each other.

She couldn't tell if Lily was pretending to be intimate, but the familiar look was hidden in her eyes, and she couldn't deceive people. From Xia actually liked her very much, if that hadn't happened. If that hadn't happened, they would have been able to be okay with each other.

But even if that happened, it didn't tear his face.

She knows that feelings are always a matter of two people, and there is always only love or not love, not giving or taking away.

Lily looked at the silver watch on her wrist and said with a smile: "It's almost noon, let's have a meal together, I'm in for a treat." ”

From Xia thought of Wu Ma alone, so he politely refused: "Thank you, next time, I made an appointment to come." ”

Lily is also not a person who likes to be entangled too much, so she didn't say anything and left.

Before leaving, she asked suddenly, "Are you really back?" Her words were inexplicable, and she didn't answer from Xia.

called Wu's mother and found that she had gone back by herself, saying that she was embarrassed to let her spend money indiscriminately. So she sullenly found a nearby restaurant to eat, and ate Japanese sushi. The rice is delicate and the sashimi is also very good, but I ate a lot in the morning, and now the sushi is dipped in wasabi again, and when I take a bite, the rice chokes in my throat and suddenly chokes.

She hammered her chest hard, breathing hard, and at that moment, there was a feeling of suffocation, as if she was close to death. She poured water in a hurry, cup by cup, without stopping, and then coughed violently, attracting the sideways glances of others.

Finally swallowed. But the mustard has a lot of stamina, and she burst into tears.

Tears came suddenly, and they came violently. The guests next to him were surprised that such a girl was eating food alone and crying while eating.

She touched her wet face with one hand. The sushi suddenly became tasteless, and she continued to eat them one by one. She felt that suffocation was beautiful, a sense of hopeless loneliness. At that time, she was in the bathroom, and the closed world inside the small glass door of the bathroom made her feel very safe and allowed herself to vent. She held the shower to her face, and then cried aloud to the sound of running water.

She may or may not have loved someone. In fact, she has not figured out what love is, he said that he was sincerely happy when he was together, and it was really sad to separate in the end.

She buried her head in the crook of her arm. "I also want to get together and disperse, and I also want to be separated and happy...... I don't bother anymore, really not. ”

After so many years, she finally understood that the only person who believes is herself, because others will betray and leave, and only herself will never leave and never abandon.

When Zhou Min came to her, she had already had a few glasses of sake in her stomach and was talking in a mess. He helped her to the bathroom and vomited, and he waited at the door. She couldn't find him, so she called him: "Where are you?" He said, "I'll be waiting for you at the door." She was flustered: "Where are you, why can't I see you, I can't see you." ”

She was groggy and finally saw him. He said, "I'll send you home." ”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Xia's hand, he held a crumpled note with scribbled handwriting: No. 812, Baizhang East Road, 7 p.m. on August 13

High school reunion, she struggled with whether to go or not. Sure enough, I still want to see him.

At about 6 p.m. that night, she was pacing up and down in the hotel lobby, turning to leave, when one hand grabbed her, leaving her with nowhere to escape. "Where is this going?"
